Surfing the web for potential Peanut subjects, the rabbit hole lead me to Frank Scott's SAAB Viggen JetCat plan from 50 years ago!  I know I had seen this before, but I was enthralled.  I transferred his drawing to CAD and traced it out, enhancing part fitment.  It was a quick draw and a quick build.  My first prototype showed a little promise but nothing spectacular - I have many JetCats that can do 10 seconds.
However, I kept with it.  A few trim tweaks here and there and flight times were up to about 15 seconds.  I took the model inside and spray-painted it and put on bond paper markings.  I took it back outside and within 10 minutes I had lost it high in a pine tree at about 16 seconds - success (yes? no?)...  It fell down over night, but onward.
I quickly cut a second kit and laid out tissue print and here we have Frank Scott's SAAB Viggen JetCat!
Complete kit with all parts (excepting paint and glue!) as follows:
7 sheets 1/16" laser cut balsa
1 plan with instructions
2 Carbon Fiber Strips
1 FAC-legal catapult handle with rubber
